This Event also finds its Origins from a Desire to revive a Special Relationship. The Appearance of the Horse in the Daily Life of Man dates back beyond recorded History. The Longines Global Champions Tour (LGCT) is an Annual Show Jumping Series that comprises up to 15 Rounds of Competition hosted around the World. It brings together the top 30 Riders in the FEI Jumping World Rankings. It was founded in 2006 by the Olympic Gold Medalist Jan Tops. Since 2007, all LGCT Events have been held as CSI 5*, which means that under FEI Rules they are Championship-Level Events. The LGCT Classes are run under FEI Rules but the Governing Body has no part in the Organisation of the Series, aside from ratifying the Schedule. The LGCT is not an FEI Series like the World Cup or the Nations Cup Competitions. The Longines Global Champions Tour kicks off its 14th Season in the spectacular Destination of Doha, with the Introduction of St Tropez and the Addition of the magical City of Prague to the Star-Studded 2019 Calendar.

  • 111126 GCT Press Release Final
    Press Release Saturday 26 th November 2011 The Global Champions Tour Grand Prix of Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, 2011 Glorious Grand Prix win for Frenchman Roger-Yves Bost and Emphatic GCT title win for Australian Edwina Tops-Alexander The Grand Prix of Abu Dhabi held at the Al Forsan International Sports Resort saw two battles unfold for supremacy. The Grand Prix alone had a purse of 400,000 euros that the top world riders were aiming for. The class also provided the showdown for the 2011 series title. The 2011 title challenge had come down to just two riders Australian Edwina Tops-Alexander and German Ludger Beerbaum. And it was an unpredictable finale with Ludger and Chaman coming unstuck in the treble combination in the first round, retiring soon after. Edwina and Cevo Itot du Chateau, out two horses later felled two fences down and although she did not go through to the second round of the Grand Prix she had won the 2011 GCT title. A just reward for a year of spectacular show jumping feits, she took home the 300,000 euro cheque as their part of the 1 million euros divided amongst the top 18 ranked riders. Edwina was ecstatic with the win. “I am so happy for the great horse Itot is. He has had a very good year.” Commented Edwina directly after her ride. It was the way it played out today and as you can see anything can happen in show jumping. For sure I would have liked to have had a better place in the Grand Prix.
